Patient questions quickly become governance questions
If your clinic cannot answer these questions with evidence, the issue is not public relations. It is a governance evidence gap. A documented position should show:
- What AI tools are in use.
- What patient data may be involved.
- What vendor evidence exists.
- Whether a DPIA is likely required or strongly indicated.
- How patients are informed.
- How clinicians review AI outputs.
